I keep saying "my" but really am thinking about my oc who is a disabled transmasc :p

Had to make dinner and musing / grieving this. Its less about choice for me and more about what informs my decisions, which context matters for someone with a body so thoroughly policed to make such an impacting commitment?

Every time we talk about caretakers murdering the people they take care of, the focus is always on the caretaker because yeah this clearly doesnt happen in a vacuum. But my god the disabled people left to die in obscurity is so bleak. Sorry for being a burden I guess

I would not mind being pregnant but do I not really? Is it so bad to want to have a family? Am I being foolish and playing house with a man?
Genuinely how do you write a character who wants to be pregnant without them feeling antithetical to feminism

Sometimes, I feel like being a person who is of a marginalized gender, it's so hard to discern informed consent, coercion, and shame. They start to be muddled when you think about things too much

Palestinians are celebrating on my timeline and I want so badly to believe they'll be able to live normal lives but I believe Israel needs to be fucking destroyed. If you can't accept treating Palestinians as neighbors and equals then go back to fucking Europe.

Trobbio being the last thespian dancing on the vestiges of a fallen imperial city, reveling in that, he thinks himself a bright spot in an otherwise dismal place- a spotlight if you will. Mwah..delicious. thank you team cherry

I feel as a trans man I have to constantly degender myself or like tone myself down or be cowed in some way into detransitioning. I also feel stupid and examined to death all the time. Who am I gonna tell all this to. My three best friends who are all chronically offline?

🇵🇸 Caleb 𓇼 ⋆｡˚ 𓆝⋆｡˚ 𓇼 🏳️‍⚧️ @littlestpersimmon.bsky.social · 21h

Some trans men want to transition physically and change their appearance but I dont. I transitioned later and throughout all my life Ive been fussing over my appearance to make misogynists happy. I crossed that bridge only to find another group of unhappy people at the end

I dont want cosmetic surgery and I want my hair longer cuz Im indigenous. I dont want to do hormones also. This is like. Specific to me as a trans man. Im not doing any work to be a man. But my idea of transness is not centered around appealing to cis people nor their sycophants. Now what

Wanting to block someone but I know they'll explain away any instance of them being ontologically irritating by saying its because theyre marginalized in some way
